The building originally had a connotation of extreme simplicity, almost poor, but with compositional affinities with the other buildings on the street, more refined and decorated, with a vaguely Art Nouveau character; the project gives it dignity by attempting to establish a formal and perceptive dialogue with the adjacent dwellings, without altering the original physiognomy. A sort of evolution from the spontaneous, poor character to a connotation of greater value, rich and proportioned, also with the introduction of stylistic and decorative elements. Here, simple characterising elements are re-proposed: the window frames, simple and essential; the base plinth, at two heights; the crowning cornice, also with essential mouldings, but nevertheless perceptible and recognisable.
The façades are finished with plaster, enriched by the cornices, whose sills are worked and pick up on the mouldings of the adjacent houses; the plinth is in relief to accentuate its character, as is the cornice which gives personality to the façade.
For the creation of the moulded sills, the same technique was adopted as for the creation of the artificial stone mouldings at the beginning of the 20th century. Starting from the section, a metal moulding was made, which was then fixed to a sliding track structure. Thanks to the manual sliding of this structure, a negative of the plaster moulding was made, which then served as the final mould for the concrete casting.
The roof covering is made of pre-painted aluminium strips, the colouring is anthracite grey, which coordinates with the shades of the façades, which are outlined on variations of grey, lighter on the masonry, sharper on the cornices, but without overdoing the contrast, seeking a soft elegance.
The house is completed by a small refined extension built at the rear, towards the north, in close relation to the garden. Mediation and connection between house and garden is designed as a light and transparent element, intended to be a veranda permeable to light, a sort of winter garden, a living room in the garden, whose life and atmosphere it participates in, in a close relationship between inside and outside. Here too, light-coloured plaster on the walls, anthracite roofing, bush-hammered concrete plinth, almost like artificial stone, embellished with large windows looking north.
The wooden doors and windows, painted in white and grey, are high-efficiency: low-emissivity glass with a double chamber, which guarantees excellent performance; they are installed with care to ensure continuity with the insulation to minimise the undesirable effect of thermal bridges, supplied by Falegnameria Basso Serramenti of Faedis, active since the 1960s and now in its 2nd generation.
